Monika Herrmann (born May 30, 1964 in Berlin-Neukölln ) is a German politician from Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and since August 1, 2013 District Mayor of the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district of Berlin .

Life

Monika Herrmann, daughter of the Berlin MPs Annelies and Dieter Herrmann (both CDU ), studied political science at the Free University of Berlin from 1985 to 1995 and graduated with a diploma. Politically, she first tried the Junge Union , but in her own opinion they were “too far to the right”. From 1981 to 1991 she worked as a teamer for youth travel, and from 1986 to 1987 she was a radio presenter in the open channel. At the end of the 1980s she headed the Begine women's center in Berlin.

In 1990 Herrmann began working in the Kreuzberg district office , invited by the state chairwoman of the Greens, Barbara Oesterheld . Herrmann initially worked for the women's representative, then later in the district office's press office. She then worked as a consultant and coordinator in the areas of youth, culture and social affairs at the Kreuzberg district office after the district merger of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.

Monika Herrmann has a partner and lives in Berlin-Kreuzberg .

politics

Monika Herrmann is a member of the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district association of the Greens and was a member of the executive committee there from 1999 to 2003 with interruptions.

From 2003 to 2006 she was a member of the extended regional executive committee of the Berlin regional association . From 2006 to 2011 she was city councilor for youth, family and school in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district office. In the elections for the district assembly in 2011 she was the top candidate of the Greens in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and after the election she became city councilor for family, health, culture and education.

On June 12, 2013, the district assembly elected her to succeed the district mayor Franz Schulz , who left office on July 31, 2013 on his 65th birthday. In this highest office in the district, too, after her portfolio on family, health and personnel had changed, she remains youth councilor and particularly wants to take care of the upbringing of children and the further integration of migrants.

The change to the district mayor was accompanied in the first few days by the accusation that she favored her partner.

In 2014 she suggested a code of conduct for tourists in Berlin and the use of rubber rollers on trolleys. At the end of the year, she was voted the “ most embarrassing woman in Berlin 2014 ” by the magazine Tip because of her alleged refusal of any personal responsibility, even before the Berlin Senator for the Interior Frank Henkel ( CDU ) .

At the end of June 2015, Herrmann submitted an application to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices for a model coffee shop project in which cannabis should be legally sold under scientific supervision . The motivation for the application was mainly on grounds of the protection of minors, since illegal drug trafficking could only be reduced and effective prevention work carried out through a state-controlled market. The application was rejected in October 2015.

In August 2016 she used a procedural trick in a "black-green alliance" with the Social Senator Mario Czaja (CDU) to ensure that the emergency shelter in the Gerhart Hauptmann School (Berlin) , which had been vacant since the beginning of 2016 , could be opened. The district waived part of the rental income, which is why the Berlin House of Representatives no longer had to approve the contract. A decision there had previously been postponed, allegedly due to tactics by the CDU faction before the election for the Berlin House of Representatives in 2016 .
